Of those, Capcom would get my vote but honestly I’d actually be kinda interested to see a CDPR take on Castlevania. Obviously I’m aware that Poland and Romania are two different countries but I’m sure there’d be more cultural synergy with Poland than with Japan.

Castlevania is set in a fictional version of Earth so that would be difficult crossing it over with Zelda in Hyrule, aside from multiverse shenanigans which are getting to be a bit old hat at this point and not exciting from a fan POV

Those guys are big names but they’re not big money. Kojima, for instance, cannot afford whatever Konami’s gonna charge for the MGS IP.

Short-selling should be fucking illegal. 

People like Left were just gaming it in the other direction. Shorting a stock before intentionally trying to crash the stock is not how stocks should work and there should be a law against it.

There are plenty of reasons why The Karate Kid part III is below par... but Thomas Ian Griffith’s scenery-chewing performance as Terry Silver was not one of them.

The impression I get is that rather than being an excuse to cram as much as possible in, the multiverse is Marvel’s elegant solution for keeping stuff out.

So the sarlacc is what I’m hearing

I’m surprised nobody has him accepting petitions on this, the day of his daughter’s wedding

My point exactly.

Each US state has its own capital. Has its own constitution. Has its own legislature, usually bicameral except for Nebraska. Has its own governor and its own state police. Has its own laws. As you correctly note, they are not sovereign, as sovereignty belongs to the Federal US government.

What does he mean by the migraine? What's the joke?

So if I wanted to watch Twin Peaks, Eraserhead or Mulholland Drive on a streaming service, which service would I need?

This only applies to geoblocking within the EU which is very much our prerogative to legislate for. Anyone who doesn't want to obey EU laws within the EU is more than welcome to not do business in the EU. I'm sure Epic will be happy to fill the gap.

Until the Epic Game Store, GOG etc all offer the same games at the lower price and force Steam to come down.

The EU is essentially a proto-USA. For “EU member nation” read “US state” and you see the correlation.

You’re 100% right. DC creates olympians: the god of speed, the God of archery, etc. Personalities are secondary. At Marvel, the personality is the primary consideration. Stan Lee’s self-imposed goal with Iron Man was to take a character the readers SHOULD hate (womanizing playboy billionaire in the military industrial…

You don’t know the half of it.

She in fact does have Angie Huang, her secretary. She also has best friend Patsy “Hellcat” Walker, known as Trish on Netflix but with a very different personality. There’s also Pug AKA Augustus Pugliese, her former coworker when she worked at Goodman, Lieberman, Kurtzberg and Holliway. A lot of She-Hulk’s best friends…

In BvS Batman was fighting to kill, while Superman was not. That makes it equivocal. Besides, according to Snyder, Superman had to die because it made more sense for the League to form in his absence. The cardinal rule of superhero-on-superhero fighting is that the outcome is always determined by what better serves…
